BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Fire Board has typically authorized 2 members to attend the Yearly
State Fire Convention. This year the convention is in Bemidji MN,June 20-22. Along with the Fire
Relief Assoc., who has already approved 2 members, we have been offering to send up to 4
members to the convention for the past 20+years. It is a great opportunity for members to get
some new or advanced training. It also give them a chance to meet with other members of
other departments to see how they handle their emergency calls compared to how we do
them. They then can bring back what they have learned and pass it on to the rest of our
members. I have 2 members that have already signed up to go to this years convention.
